Overview

Epsilon-polylysine is an antimicrobial peptide that can be produced by bacteria such as Streptomyces. Epsilon-polylysine inhibits the growth ofmicroorganismssuch as bacteria, yeasts and molds and is therefore often used as a green food additive and preservative in various food and beverage products. Epsilon-polylysine has a variety of properties, including thermal stability, resistance to acidic conditions, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Epsilon-polylysine can be loaded on othermaterialsto form nanoparticles or form nanofiber membranes for targeted delivery to exert sustainedantibacterialefficacy. Epsilon-polylysine is also used as aliposomestabilizer[3][4].
